Remote Certification Training (RCT)
Remote Certification Training (RCT) - The Fiber School - Certified Fiber Optic Installer

As we enter the 21st century no technology has had an impact on society greater than broadband communications. Behind all of the devices, the apps, the wireless gadgets the autonomous cars……. there are fiber-optic networks. For hundreds of years, many countries have installed copper-based networks and for hundreds of years, these networks were sufficient. The current demands for the services listed above cannot be achieved on the copper technology. The technology of fiber optics is the process of sending light signals over a fiber optic line (typically made from glass) at incredibly fast speeds for long distances.

For a technician, it is extremely important that they understand the basics of the network, proper installation techniques, maintenance, and repair. Over the last 15 years, the Fiber School has been trusted by organizations around the world to provide training not only in the theory behind fiber optics but to create hands-on labs that mimic the work that technicians will actually be doing in the field. The Fiber School has developed specialized training for many industries from Fiber to the home, Oil, Gas & Petroleum, Utilities and many others as well. We also offer levels of training from Installer (Beginning) to Masters (Advanced).

We have heard from many students over the past several years that it is difficult for them to travel to one of our locations to attend the training. So we are proud to announce that we have taken the time to convert the entire class theory and hands-on labs into videos. These videos cover the theoretical material of how fiber optic networks work and now include extensive footage of our instructors actually doing the labs captured on video.

With our Remote Certification Training (RCT) we will send you all of the materials and provide you access to the video library that you can watch as many times as you like for up to 1 year. Simply follow the video do the labs take a picture of your completed lab and submit for grading.

Students will receive a kit including all the lab materials needed to perform the hands-on skills assessment. If you have your own tools and equipment, choose Option 1. Option 2 includes all of the tools and equipment necessary to complete the course. Following online video instructions, the student will perform each hands-on lab as if they were in the classroom.
